Just springs
Just springs Will be doing another cam swap in a few months and have about 10k on my Tea springs. Do titanium retainers and hardend seats wear? Is it safe just to replace the springs? Might do the seals while I'm in there too.
Hopefully there won't be any aluminum wearing, that's what the hardend seats are for. 
But yeah, titanium is supposed to be harder than steel, but I imagine if the spring is machined incorrectly or some other oddity, that over time it could cause the retainer to wear incorrectly?

i was always told the softer metal will wear first against the harder metal. like they have solid copper or something wheel bearings in riding mower wheels. solid chunks of metal. they wear first instead of the rim and spindle then you beat em out when they are loose and hammer in new ones. the steel rim and spindle still look new after twenty years.
